Performer Magazine premieres “DNA,” the new single from The Watters from their forthcoming album Great Unknown, out on July 1st:
This song screams against being a corporate guinea pig. I tried to compare the seductive associations used by mainstream corporations that make us believe cars and computers are ‘sexy’ to that of a ‘perfect’ human being. It’s hard not to long for that perfection in things…However, the veneer of perfection is a dangerous one.
Red Dirt Nation reviews Levi Parham‘s forthcoming full-length These American Blues, out June 24th on Music Road Records.
Thanks to The Metal Observer for the 7/10 review of Druids’ new album Cycles of Mobeum — out now on vinyl from Sump Pump Records — calling it an “enjoyable slab of blues heavy stoner metal. Even from just the intro, there are some great licks being played on Cycles.”
Great album review for The Watters‘ Great Unknown from Glacially Musical:
“Our principals, Jenna and Daniel Watters both sing and play guitar. They switch off lead vocals in a beautiful and timeless way. The vocals are strong, powerful, and have a retro feeling, but the lyrics do not…”
There are hints of lonesome, Western expanse to the album, which finds Parham wrestling with, as he says, the changing face of the American Dream…On ‘These American Blues,’ Parham travels through an America both mythic and all-too-real. It’s a cross-country journey of an album, so what are you waiting for? Hit the road.

Thanks to The Joy of Violent Movement for the great review of The Watters‘ new single “Great Unknown,” title track off of their forthcoming album, due out on July 1st:
Album title track and first single ‘Great Unknown’ has the band pairing Muscle Shoals soul with 70s AM rock — a soulful horn arrangement and Jenna Watters’ effortlessly soulful vocals are paired with jangling guitars and gently propulsive drumming, along with a careful and deliberate attention to craft. Lyrically, the song focuses on two very different things -taking a big chance on your dreams with the hope that things will come out in your favor but also on something that people often forget, sometimes you can’t fight the tide; things will sort themselves out in their own time and in their own way even your own dreams.
“The record features eight massive tracks of psychedelic sludge that are comprised of mammoth riffs, transcendental soundscapes and expressive melodies.”

Valley of Steel reviews Druids‘ new album Cycles of Mobeum — out today on vinyl from Sump Pump Records:
All in all [Cycles of Mobeum] is a nice little trip through some sort of weird psychedelic-sludge galaxy, which totally makes sense when it’s revealed that the album was named for, and largely inspired by — from an aesthetic standpoint — the artist Mœbius, whose surrealist comic books and design concepts inspired a number of groundbreaking science fiction movies.
Druids‘ new album is out today on Sump Pump Records! Listen to the full stream at SkullsNBones.com:
Doom/slugde champions Druids aren’t afraid of a challenge, and in fact, their third album, Cycles of Mobeum, is an eight-track concept album that tells the story of Warpia and her home planet Mobeum. Pretty heady stuff, particularly when set to an intense soundtrack brimming with fierce instrumentation.
Wonderbox Metal reviews the new album from Druids, out June 3rd on vinyl from Sump Pump Records:
“Blues and proto-metal/doom influences abound, making Cycles of Mobeum a very complete package…Cycles of Mobeum is nothing if not satisfying. A great combination of old and new. Very highly recommended.”

Druids‘ full album stream for Cycles of Mobeum, out June 3rd on Sump Pump Records, premieres today on Pure Grain Audio.
Independent Music News premieres “Hiking,” the new music video from There Is No Mountain:
The group specializes in a charming brand of psych-pop that is often dancey and always catchy, like a matured mix of the Dirty Projector’s artsy weirdness and oddball vocal harmonies with the barebones instrumentation of Beat Happening. All of these textures and more are present on their sophomore album, Luna, a collection of songs based around the band’s travels released by L.A.’s ORG Music in January 2016.
Think of the song in terms of the plot diagrams your fourth grade English teacher would write on the dry erase board and you’ll notice an entire cycle of emotion smashed into an insanely catchy two and a half minute song.
Thanks to Glacially Musical for the great review of Druids‘ forthcoming album Cycles of Mobeum (Sump Pump Records), out on vinyl on June 3rd:
…it was clear this wasn’t your every day doom metal concept record, but hills and valleys of instrumentals interspersed with vocals that sound like Baroness at their angriest. The ups and downs of Cycles of Mobeum have held my interest and it’s already been spun five times before writing this review.
Thanks to Rockbrary for the great review of “Dreams of a Surface” from Druids‘ forthcoming album Cycles of Mobeum, coming out on June 3rd from Sump Pump Records.
